Morning sickness-boy/girl?

[jenstam]

Anyone out there that can shed any light on the morning sickness meaning boy/girl? I have only been pregnant with girls. I got horrible morning sickness with all of them. This time, even though I am only about 8 weeks, I really have none, other than occasional nausea that comes and goes. Nothing like the vomiting episodes I had with my daughters. I am hopeful! I have read that even some scientific studies have proven that morning sickness is linked more to girls than boys. Any of you experienced this as truth? I want a boy so bad, but I will love another daughter just as much. Just thought the lack of morning sickness might mean something (:

[maryann86]

I didn't have  any morning sickness and I am having a boy. :) Good luck!!!

[girliegrl1723]

it may be true! i am having a boy and i was not sick at all this whole pregnancy. good luck <3

[gml24]

For me it's true.  With my son I had no morning sickness whatsoever, and with this pregnancy I had it pretty bad for the first three months and now it's returning in my eighth month.  It's a girl!

[surfergirl602]

I had bad morning sickness with my first - girl.
Minimal with my second - girl
I had nope with this one - girl.

I don't think that the amount of morning sickness you have can accurately determine gender.  :)

[joyfulmom]

With my son, I had no morning sickness and with my daughter, I was sick alot. I was wondering if this was related as well! My baby's hb is 174 bpm and they say fast hb's are a girl. But I haven't had alot of sickness this time. So, I don't if mine is going to be a girl or a boy!

[Marcus's Mommy]

1st - No morning sickness, happy baby boy

2nd - No morning sickness, m/c at 11 weeks

3rd - 22 weeks pregnant, no morning sickness, another boy


Always just tired, and have more headaches. Love food too!!!!

[jenstam]

Thanks all! Seems to be a trend that leans more towards boys!! I just have a feeling this time around. This is my 6th pregnancy. First FOUR were girls, 5th miscarriage and now this one seems to be going well. It has been 8 years since I had a baby, so it seems kind of like the first all over again. I have just been surprised at the lack of morning sickness. I keep waiting for it to sneak up on me, but with my girls I was already getting quite sick by this point. I hope this is a sign that I might finally get my boy!!

[Elicam]

I was only slightly nauseous, no real morning sickness and I am having a boy.

My sil was the other way around though.

Are you hoping for a boy this time around?

They say that if you like at your last childs nape, if the hairline is straight then your next child is a girl, if it goes down and pointed then you are going to have a boy.

It has been right everytime.

[stephd]

I have 1 boy and am having another one and wasnt sick much at all.  Nauseous now and then and that is all.  Just rem. every pregnancy is different so dont get disappointed if you are told you are having another girl.....good luck i hope you get your boy!!

[sallie05]

I did not have any morning sickness and had a baby girl last September

[jenstam]

Either way I will be happy...just hoping until then that I get a boy (: This is the first for DH so he really doesn't care either way. Although, with my four daughters he is largely outnumbered! We need some testosterone!

[newlywed05]

I was a strong believer in sick with a girl not sick with a boy UNTIL I got pg. I have literally thrown up for all 9 months and I see no end in sight. I am due with in the next few weeks and just threw up two days ago...before that I threw up Sunday 3x's. And yes, it is a B-O-Y!!!! So, no more wive's tales for me!!

[jenstam]

I don't belief in wives tales, either. But I have read several medical articles that have said they have found a correlation between less morning sickness and having a boy. So that's why I thought I would ask everyone what their experiences were. Not because it is a wives tale, but because it has been proven to have some truth to it. Thanks everyone!

[Trentonsmom]

With my first son I didn't have any and with this pregnancy, which is also a boy, I had evening sickness for the first 15 weeks. I lived on PB sandwiches and applesauce almost the entire time.

[Agiesmom]

I don't think morning sickness can indicate gender.  But, I was sick as a dog with my first (a boy) and haven't been sick once this time (a girl).

[BusyMom92960206]

My morning sickness was terrible with my first pregnancy which is my 14 yo DD.  With my three pregnancies after that, I had some but not bad, all DSs.  Now, this 5th pregnancy led me to believe it was a girl b/c I am still getting sick at 16+ weeks and sure enough today, the u/s tech said It's A GIRL!  So....I am a believer!

[mommyandaidan]

I was extremely sick with my son. I thought for sure I was having a girl, but nope a boy!!! I have heard that also, but for me it wasn't the case.

[mgi]

everyone I have talked to and all three of my cases have shown that you are wayy sicker with boys

[ajemmom]

I was not sick at all with my daughter....I actually felt great the entire pregnancy.  My did get morning sickness with my son though!

[LittleLady1980]

I was told that I'm having a boy (not that I really believe anything my doctor has to say)-he seems to be more trouble than he's worth... But, I must say, I've had NO morning sickness, and minimal nausea.

[crystalluvsjim]

I didn't even know that the gender/morning sickness thing was a wives tale. Seriously, I've only heard stories coming from the mommies themselves. I was wondering myself because I have been pregnant 4 times(lost first 3) and never really had morning sickness only a bit of nausea and indigestion. I won't know if I'm having a boy or girl for another 3 weeks, and that's only if he/she is cooperating, but I'll keep y'all posted.

[pertykitty]

sick with my girl, not with my boy.  my sis was the opposite.  my girlfriend the same, so sick with her boy she had red eyes from busting vessels with puking sad!

[Terrie25]

Hi ya everyone.  I am pregnant with my 4th child at 35 years old.  I was sick alot with my first,  now 15 yr old girl, and with my following two no morning sickness and had two boys.  I am 6 weeks pregnant and feel sick sometimes but not actually sick.  Am I having another boy??  Any suggestions.  My left breast is bigger by the way than the right one.  What stage did you start with ur morning sickness???  Cant remember back 15 years... lol  Terrie

[AndiJ78]

My first- nauseated all day and night first trimester, throwing up frequent enough to end up in the hospital a few times in the second and third timester- Boy

My second- hyperemesis-Another boy

My third- typical nausea with some vomitting in the first trimester, recurred later in pg as a result of GB issues, but other than that had a wonderful and easy pg-Another bouncing boy

No real truth to m/s-gender correlation. Same with HB thing. Count your blessings that it isn't bad right now ; )

[nikkicole827]

I had awful morning sickness and she is a girl.  HOWEVER, I have several friends who had girls with no morning sickness at all and mymomther told me she had it awful with all three of her children: girl, boy, girl.  

But I'll be suspicious if I dn't have it next time as well!

[Jay_Leron]

no i highly doubt it makes a difference wether or not its a boy or girl. i had morning sickness, nauea vomitting and all the entire 9 months of my pregnancy and i was having a boy. my frend had it for the first three 3 months (normally thats  how long it lasts) lucky her and she was having a girl. shes now due late august early sept with a boy and has nothing. it's different each pregnancy i think.

[Jay_Leron]

[Jay_Leron]

but honestly though, i do hope it depends heehee i hope no sickness or very lil sickness means girl cuz am 6 weeks + rite now and am praying so hard for a girl!! lol

[tomel]

1st Boy no morning sickness
2nd Boy lots of morning sickness

[mami2karina]

Well I'm sick day and night.  I'm having a boy, same then when I was pregnant with my daughter.  All the way until delivery.  This time around they gave me meds to control it.  So that's just an old wives tale.

[Crritter]

I was very sick with all of my pregnancies, first one was a boy, second one I m/c at 11 weeks (blighted ovum, so no gender) and the last one a boy.  I lost 15 lbs. the first trimester with all of them, sick till around 5 months, slowed down till around 7 months and then puked again till the end.  I think it's an old wives tale.

[petal4]

I had no sickness at all with my first, a daughter but with this one (I'm 31 weeks pregnant) I've been sick all the way through and its a boy this time.

To add to the controversy.....I've got a Linea Nigra with this pregnancy (the dark line of hair running down from bellybutton) but I never had one with my girl.....so I wonder if that can give clues to gender??

[*heartagram*]

It's a old wives tale. I am just over 7 months preg with my third, a boy. My first 2 were girls. My first pregnancy I had hardcore morning sickness for 5 months, my second next to nothing and this time I STILL have morning sickness.

[Liza55]

Puked my insides out w/ a girl, virtually none w / my current little boy!

[MomOfHayd]

I had horrible morning sickness when i was pregnant with my son, up until i was about four months along. i thought for sure i was having a girl! i did have a Linea Nigra with my son though, so maybe THATS an indicator of what you might be having...who knows! :)

[anshuvenkat]

I had no nausea/morning sickness with my first 2 and they were boys. This time around (7 weeks), I am not getting sick but have the sensation of it along with really bad nausea - might be the sign of a girl in me..Will not know until 4 more months.

[Kim1989]

my mom never had morning sickness. didnt get sick or anything during her pegnancy with me. i was a twin tho. but she wasnt sick and had a girl

[daprincess21]

I had no morning sickness with my dd. and my best friends was extremly sick with her son...just by looking at these post (which are all different) i dont think gender has anythig to do with it. on the other hand tho...if you had ms with 3 girls and now are pg with NO  ms maybe it is a boy. maybe thats just how YOUR body is...

[lil_angels'_mommy23]

I have 2 little boys (ages 2 1/2 & 3 1/2)...I had NO morning sickness whatsoever throughout the first trimester with either of them. But I started getting sick day and night tot eh point where I would throw up without even feeling nauseous. My morning sickness started in the 4th month and lasted til I was about 8 1/2 months w/ both. (I was told that morning sickness generally lasts thru the first trimester & then lets up...But that was SO NOT true)...I am 5 months pregnant w/ my 3rd baby. I have yet to find out the sex, but I was sick the whole first trimester, non-stop. Then it disappeared as soon as I was out of the first trimester. I have seen many things pointing to morning sickness and gender. I really don't think any of the "stories" are true...Jus' individual experiences...Which vary from person to person & pregnancy to pregnancy.

[amberd5191]

I think it just varies on each pregnancy,

1st- Night time morning sickness-not all that bad Girl

2nd- lost 17lbs had IV's Boy

3rd- PICC Line Boy

4th-Terribly sick PICC again...Girl

[racey2]

I have a six year old daughter who i was sick with the whole 9 mths its was awful im almost seven weeks pregnant now, and ive only been slighty nausated. So im hoping that this is goin be a boucing baby boy!!!!!!! That would be great.

[jenstam]

Aww...this post made me smile...thinking back when I didn't know but wanted a boy so bad. I got my boy!

[AndiJ78]

I was just thinking the same thing. Funny when these old posts pop up. I keep seeing ones from 2003. Fun stuff.

[boosty]

i was throwing up non stop with my first that is a girl. this time, i am very sick too and i dont know what i am having yet. four of my friends had boys and none of them got sick. one didnt even know shes pregnant until the sixth month.

[have 2 kids]

I didn't look at the date at first.   I was like "what?? she didn't tell me."

[jenstam]

LOL...yeah, I saw it this morning and it made me think for a second, too!

[have 2 kids]

LOL

[boosty]

oh my God, i just noticed how old this post is .loooooooooool

[rubyolivia]

What kind of friend was I? I never even answered! lol I had ms though!

[jenstam]

Yeah, thanks a lot Jess! LOL...

[rubyolivia]

Hey...I do what I can! lol

[Allie1980]

Hey you had your baby!!!!  SO did i!!!!  Congrats!

[vsentz]

eventho it's a wife's tale it's still fun!

I was sicker than a homeless dog! and carrying a precious little girl.....

with my first one (m/c at 12 weeks) was sick too and we are almost sure it was a girl too.... (wanna think it's the same soul that came back to me ='))

[jenstam]

Thanks, you too (: He's 5 months old tomorrow!

[danielleulv]

I read many comments and i got to this conclusion, in every pregnancy it c ould be that if your symptoms are the opposite from the last pregnancy (IF not influenced by any medication or something else) it cold be the opposite sex you are having. I also noticed that there is a greatter number of women that do not get morning sickness when having a boy. But those that do have morning sickness and have a boy, in posterior pregnancies with morning sickness could end up with a girl.

[danielleulv]

By the way. I was very sick and bloated with my first, a girl. Im  6 weeks pregnant now and havent had any nausea, and not getting so much weight. Just tender breasts and some sensitivity on the gums.

[wild.blue]

loads of morning sickness - boy

[momagain008]

I didnt have any morning sickness with my daughter and i have had tons of morning sickness with the baby i am carrying now, although i dont know what i am having yet..

[momagain008]

lol, i carried high with my daughter....everyone told me i was having a by...i had a little girl....i think its just different for everyone...

[aglaser]

I just read a post on a doctors site that says if you have morning sickness you are 50% more likely to have a girl.
I have 3 boys right now
My first one= I had morning sickness but I'm guessing that's because it was my first pregnancy something my body was not use to.
My second one= no morning sickness
My third one= no morning sickness
This one= I have had morning sickness so bad I thought I had the flu! lol

[mysty2001]

I personally think MS with boys is way worse.  I hypothesize due to their hormones are different from ours.  My girl preg was walk in park - did not think I was even preggers

[ortizesa]

my first pregnacy i had morning sickness but just a little bit and i had a boy. im pregnant again but this time around its worst than ever. every morning im sick but its not just the morning its an all day thing i feel sick all the time. when i eat, when i wake up, when i watch tv, when i cook, everything i do i wanna vomit. i think im having a girl only because this is different than before.

[southerngal01]

For my first child, I was severly sick the entire time of my pregnancy. I actually lost 17 pounds in my first trimester. - A BOY

My second child, morning sickness alot but not as bad as the first - A BOY

Now I am pregnant for my 3rd and the morning sickness hasn't started yet other than just feeling nauseated once. =hoping a Girl!

good luck everyone
